Reasons to have maternity photos done at home | SPOKANE, WA

Cozy, comfortable wardrobe.

When you have maternity pictures taken within your home, there’s no need for over the top wardrobes or gowns. You can dress in a way that is comfortable and cozy, because this looks natural in a home environment. There’s absolutely ways to dress up your home photos without being over the top. You can choose a sweater with an off the shoulder neck line, choose a pair of cozy knitted socks, or add a pretty cardigan, it’s up to you. Most moms love the idea of ditching the maternity gown, they’re expensive and aren't so timeless.

Preserving the memory of the season.

The season of life that is pregnancy is relatively short in the grand scheme of things, though it may not feel like it when you’re in it. Having your maternity photoshoot done within your home helps to preserve the memory of the season of life. You may not always live in this home. I moved about 3 months after my baby arrived, because the house no longer suited out needs, and I am so glad I took my maternity pictures in my house, because I’ll always remember that time of life when I look back at the pictures. The whole reason to take maternity pictures is to preserve the memory and honor the change of your body and your life. I like to keep this at the top of mind when planning maternity photo sessions.

Intimate photos in a natural location, your home.

In-home maternity photos have an extra level of intimacy that I just love. It’s like inviting people into a little glimpse of your life.
